    This is just too much for words! Magnificent and so true to the art of French chateaux furniture style, the patina full of old world charm and warmth. If I didn't know it was painted, I would think it was the real thing, it is so convincing to the eye. I love it! Thank you for sharing your techniques, and it is an honor to have found your channel. I learn a lot from you and am deeply inspired by your work.

    The only reason I would try an try to get an ordinary piece look like what you did, the circular pieces of bedside tables from the 70's,, all ornate but dark wood ,etc, but wanted them to look like old French chateau pieces from the old day, so ventured out on every technique, hence ,school glue for crackle , plaster of Paris for build up age ,chunky,,, old gold paint from dollar store , antique finish from dollar store,,,,, finally dry brushing with baby powder ,,, then just paste wax and buff , thankyou for all your videos love them ,xo you made my evening , so great

    A new admirer of your workmanship. Loved the finished product, and I certainly learned some new techniques to apply. One thing I know would be a pain for you to do, is for you to list the colors and paint you used in your projects, and any other product as well. It would save me and no doubt others having to rerun your video to try to catch the name of the product you are using. Keep up the good work! The more the merrier. Many thanks!

    Jonathon, I actually sucked in my breath as you applied the dark wax! WOW, that was QUITE the contrast.....but as usual you made it look beautiful.I thought it was interesting how much of a purplish hue it seemed to have when finished. My question is this: how does this wax compare to Annie's? I've never had to use, nor had a need to use, WoodUbend products, although I would love to try them some day. Those little escutcheons were pretty cool. You chose the one I liked the best!
    One final thought: I think you are having way too much fun on your trip. LOL

      @@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove I plan on doing something very similar with two matching armoires, but don't think I can get the products you used in Italy. The armoires I have are huge, so I'm wanting to add decoupage paper. Can I do a crackle finish over decoupage paper using the crackle solution and maybe a really thin wash over it? Also, what it if I wanted more of the blue to come through? I'll most likely be using Annie Sloan chalk paint. I've been subscribed for a while and binge watch you wonderful tutorials long past the hour of a sane time to sleep. Love your work. You're a true artist, ♥ PS
